This goes under the "what were they thinking" category. The frame of the TR6
grill has a plastic coating of some sort which is, in turn, covered with a
chrome piece. The plastic probably seemed like a good idea at the time but
all it takes is moisture getting in between the plastic and the metal and
you have an instant rust recipe. As part of my ever growing shipwright's
disease, I removed the grill, disassembled it and cut away the plastic
cover. Here's what it looks like underneath (http://tinyurl.com/3ajgwj) The
metal on the top of the grill is as nice as the day it was installed....the
sides and bottom are another story. Two questions for the List: is that
brass solder on the grill frame corners in the pictures and what kind of
metal is the egg crate part of the grill made of?
My Nissan differential is also moving along and can be seen here
